    Captain's Tip

    Your cruise departs from Barcelona, Spain on the Celebrity Xcel, carrying thousands of passengers. Fly in the day before to protect against flight disruptions - the ship won't wait. If you're given an assigned boarding time, showing up earlier sometimes works but isn't guaranteed. Complete your online check-in before arrival. Fresh produce, seafood, and friendly exchanges reflect how food anchors social life here.

Tackle the most distant spot first, then work your way back toward the port. From the outside it looks restrained, but inside is one of the most richly decorated churches in Europe.

    Captain's Tip

    The Celebrity Xcel will be offloading over 2,000 passengers into Rhodes, Greece. A ship-arranged shore excursion is the smoothest way to bypass terminal congestion - these groups often get priority disembarkation. Rhodes Old Town is a living museum of medieval streets, stone walls, and historic landmarks.

    Captain's Tip

    Your ship arrives in Santorini (Thira), Greece at 7:00 AM, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off. If your plans are flexible, waiting 30-45 minutes lets the initial wave pass. Walk through Oia's narrow streets lined with whitewashed houses and blue-domed churches.
